Thanks to Annoyances.org for the solution to this:

You have to download the service pack from Microsoft and install manually.  After install/reboot, run Windows Update again.  The SP should not show up anymore.

Recently, I had to change the AD import connection for my Sharepoint user profiles.  I noticed after this change the audience memberships were not compiling.  I searched the web and found nothing exactly solving this issue.  Many of my audiences are based on groups in AD.  I checked the rules again and found when I brought up the browser to select users/groups, the groups were all listed twice or even three times.

Temporary fix: I had to select the bottom most listing to get the audience to have members again.  I am not sure why it is doing this.  There must be some purge tool which can clear out the list of groups and then rebuild, but I haven't found it yet.

Thought I would pass this along in case anyone else is encountering this same issue.

Here in sunny Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay!!  What a large hotel this is.  I have to walk 2 miles just to get to the ballrooms.  (Just kidding, but it is a good walk to get there).  So many restaurants.  Have to listen to helicopters landing and taking off, but it's just part of it.

I really like this conference.  They have a wide variety of classes to choose from.  The attendance this time is the largest yet at 5000.  The keynote speech was good with a quick overview of where Microsoft is going next year.  They are due to release Visual Studio 2008 by the end of this quarter.  SQL Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 are due in the first half of next year.  SQL 2008 has a ton of great features.  They incorporated the Dundas charts into Reporting Services.  I hope the virtualization claims they have made about Win 2008 come true.  VS 2008 has some really good features for integration with Sharepoint and click-once deployment.  I only wish our firm was using Office 2007, so we could use all of the integrated features between all of these products.
